Come Meet the New Neighbors

We are doing some fun things, so I wanted to share the creativity. Lydia wanted to make some tic tac gifties, after I had shown her these Halloween treats at Pleasant Home.Lydia made her own, and they are right cute!

Myself, I've gotten a whole new "neighborhood" of houses .They are a sweet group, I look forward to bringing them together.

Since this is a "gift" to me, it will wait until later, after the Christmas rush. There are still gifts to get completed for others, yet!I wanted to get a post for Amy's Sew and Tell. Go see the other folks, and tell them Hi! A Friday finish is always an encouragement, keep going!

Great houses! I could live in the pink one, but would love to visit my neighbor in the gingerbread one!! As a kid I would always spend too much time studying the individual blocks on Grandma's quilts. This one would've mezmerized me!!!

Hi, I'm Pokey!

What's in a Name?

So, my name is like this, Gwen is my given name, and growing up it was family that called me that. But about Jr. High, the name Pokey was what I became known as. ( Slow to get the jokes, slow to complete the work, but I call that perfectionism! or, procrastination....) When I'm at work, most people there call me Gwen (or Mrs. Davis, I'm a teacher.)BUT, my honey calls me Pokey. When I got married, our Pastor asked, "Pokey, do you take this man..." At church, I'm Pokey. My friends call me Pokey. As a matter of fact, Pokey Davis is a registered 'alias' at my bank, because occasionally people will write it on checks made out to me-! You get to choose where you want to fit. I answer to any. I wanted folks to know, the name 'Pokey' wasn't made up just for blogging!
